More

It seems as if record labels are billing all young male artists as "the next Bieber." We've spoken to several of them: Conor Maynard, Austin Mahone, and now, Dylan Hyde. But just because these boys all got their start on YouTube and rock backwards hats, it doesn't mean they should necessarily be grouped together.

Dylan Hyde hasn't even signed a record deal, but he's already on our radar. His YouTube channel has over one million views, and his army of fans is growing by the day. The pop crooner's music has a soulful influence—think Boyz II Men—and he's a talented self-taught musician. But what makes Dylan's talent even more impressive is that he suffers from a permanent loss of hearing in one ear. Dylan doesn't let his physical limitations get in the way of his music making, and his resiliency is inspiring.

The San Diego teen has mastered skater/punk fashion, but since he's about to enter the public eye on a massive scale, we'd thought we'd help him polish his look. Teen Vogue's fashion market editor, Mary Kate Steinmiller, gave Dylan a makeover to introduce him to new designers and motivate him to take fashion risks. What do you think of his revamped style? Let us know!

We spoke to the breakout musician about his personal style, songwriting, and new single.
